armedprofAnoyone Else Just Plain Like Baseball?
I love a baseball game in person. A baseball game on TV is pretty good but I find that is easy to get distracted away from it.
Looking forward to this World Series.

TXJIMThat game last night was like a heavy weight boxing match, both teams throwing punches( home runs) into the 11th inning. Wow, what a game and the 'Stros are coming back to Houston with Mo on their side.

JALLENThat was some game, wasn’t it?
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Oh hells yeah!!! By the 7th inning, my brother and I were texting each other just about after every pitch!!
Though I haven't put a glove on in YEARS, I enjoyed playing the game. Dad and big brother played as well with better success.
It was a joke some years ago when the Astros sucked.....
What do the Houston Astros have in common with Michael Jackson?
They wear a glove on one hand for no apparent reason.

TXJIMI was sitting on the deck at hunting camp with a couple of buddies drinking beer and live streaming it on the computer. The deer must think a troop of monkeys moved into the woods from all of the carrying on last night.

Actually, that was most often heard referring to the Dodgers, at least where I was, back then.
It was funny to see Steve Garvey out there yesterday, interviewed in TV, the father of his clubhouse. What a self promoting buffoon!

mdjYes, and when I hear Vin Scully talk I am 12 years old again. Watching baseball with my Grandpa, a WWII vet, and all is right with the world. There is nothing like baseball.

jtedescucciI like baseball.... probably because I enjoy the cranial sports much more than I do the gladiatorial ones.

AglifterGirls softball is also a surprisingly good show. Much faster rate of play.
